Georgia Power recently announced that crews working at the Plant Vogtle nuclear expansion project near Waynesboro, Ga., reached another milestone when they placed the integrated head package (IHP) for Vogtle Unit 3 atop the reactor vessel.
The utility says a recent 20% reduction in the project’s workforce due to the coronavirus pandemic shouldn't affect the in-service date targets for the new nuclear units.
In February, Georgia Power reported that workers at the Vogtle 3 and 4 project completed the final concrete placement inside the Unit 3 containment vessel, which houses the unit’s reactor.
